Buying questions - which plane?

Buy the 2-volume Airplane Buyer's Guide from Aviation Consumer. Well
worth the $75 or so considering how much you can lose with a bad
decision.

High level pros/cons of just about any older GA airplane currently
available.

For new, I'd consider the pressurized Columbia 400 or Lanceair IVP -
check out TAP for used models available. But now you're getting up in
the $$$$ price levels.

I wasn't aware that there was any such thing as a pressurized Bonanza.

Beechcraft did build two prototype turbine powered pressurized single engine
airplanes. They called it the "Lightning 38P" and one of the prototypes did
go into flight testing on June 14, 1982. The project was scrapped because
it was deemed economically unfeasible. I think if they had developed it
years later it would have had a market. The prototype was being advertised
for sale last year for $300,000, no engine or instrumentation.

Paul,

Which pressurized Columbia 400? There is no such thing. The 400 is
turbocharged.

Perhaps someone is confusing this with the Lancair IV? An aviation
acquaintance of mine is seriously considering purchasing a pressurized IV.
